Opis

Bioresource Directory aims to promote the need for preserving biodiversity in heritage archives to understand through in-depth research and development, the core information embedded in each organism that talks about a younger earth, gone long past. It is through molecular taxonomy, taphonomy, forensic studies, correlation of gene clusters with signature environmental factors, and DNA bar coding, that the public may be made aware of the need to conserve, the scholars to preserve, and the scientists to explore and understand each organism that ever existed on earth. By sensitizing both academia and the general public, of the need for bioresource generation in an economically viable but non-exploitative environmentally sustainable model, detailed information garnered from a digital inventory created during the systematic restoration and upgradation of a centenary heritage zoological museum kept in Kolkata, which was made by zoological field trips by students, scholars and teachers, by donations from private collections and bought commercially to build a teaching museum. It is being made into an interpretive educational center of excellence for human resource training in Zooarcheology
